Dani

Sorry I'm being so hands-off lately .... Still working on coding every spare second I get. Still looking to launch late February. It might end up getting pushed back to the beginning of March but I really hope not. Again ... just want to say that I'm still here in …

On-page optimization are things directly in your control (navigation structure, optimizing html, etc). Off-page optimization are things you wish were in your control (other sites linking to you, social bookmarking, etc).

Off-page factors play a large role in how your site gets ranked. However, it's important to have a constant stream of new sites always linking to you. The only way to achieve this is to constantly have fresh, awesome content on your site that people are naturally going to want …

I am working on running DaniWeb by day and coding a new forum platform from the ground up by night.

We had a lot of server downtime this morning. :(

Sagedavis ... Yup, like height *= 2 to double the height ... Remember to also do onmouseout= to restore the height and width back to normal when the mouse moves off of the images. You might also want to add this.src= and fetch a higher resolution version of the image …

> Extracting 20 lines that are causing a problem lets them inspect just the problem (in the absence of the "noise" of the rest of their project) closely and hopefully understand what is causing it. Codepad won't work for portions of code. For example, If I use the code [icode]cout …

Here's an article I just read about how so many people got caught in the crossfire on this one: [url]http://www.searchenginejournal.com/the-farmer-update-harmed-codependent-site-owners/28248/[/url]

Put your pages into a sitemap XML file and upload that sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools.

I am the same way. I, also, chalk it up to it being the only time of the day where there are no distractions. I am just more productive when coding at night than during the day.

Finding unanswered threads is an expensive process and it gets cached. Same with threads with zero replies. That's why sometimes some recently posted in/recently solved threads might show up in the list.

If you're writing a Windows application, try the DeleteFile function available in winbase.h: [code] BOOL DeleteFile( LPCTSTR lpFileName // pointer to name of file to delete ); [/code]

Hold your suggestions for just a bit longer :) I'm currently working on recoding all of DaniWeb from scratch, and there's a complete freeze on the existing system right now.

blud can explain more, but something went funky with the database server in the middle of the night causing table lockups.

Aww, looks like Steve Jobs just passed away :(

Hi AD!! Happy new year!!! Enjoy your retirement!! I, on the other hand, have been away from DaniWeb recently hard at work recoding the new site like crazy! :)

> "Executive (C-level)" seems to be a default value of some kind Yes, it's one of the choices in a dropdown menu.

We currently use QR codes with some of our print promotional materials, but nothing that equates to any hugely significant amount of traffic. QR codes don't really have a tendency to go viral in any meaningful way.

You need to unsubscribe from threads that you have set to receive email notification on.

Suppose a user enters something and it is stored as a string. Run the php function str_replace on that string before posting. Each time you find the sequence :) then replace it with <img src="smiley.gif"> Here is some more info: [url="http://us2.php.net/str-replace"]http://us2.php.net/str-replace[/url]

What about the free version of Borland JBuilder? Personally I'm a fan of the .NET IDE.

I am using Mac OS X with the built in configuration of Apache. I am taking a web dev class where we're writing perl scripts ... so far I've been able to get my CGI scripts to run via mod_perl. Now, I'm trying to install CGI::Session via CPAN and it's …

I know you said you didn't want to spend anything, but check out Xenforo. It's by all the ex-developers of vBulletin. It's fairly new though, and just went stable earlier this year. I'm currently toying with moving DaniWeb to a custom in-house solution. I've been coding something. ;)

You can't create a thread in a group. Members can simply join groups, that's the only functionality. I don't think you can delete a group that other people have joined.

In most cases, it's illegal. Torrents are for file sharing (usually illegal music/movies/pirated software) like Napster used to be.

PayPal's API should be capable of this, but I'm not familiar enough with it. But it should definitely be possible through their merchant API.

[QUOTE=Catweazle]Your default setting is to inform you of new posts as a weekly summary via email. You can change that to instant notification if you like, so that you are informed immediately if someone has answered your question.[/QUOTE] As of somewhat recently, instant notification is now the default for new …

It loads just fine for me. :(

I wouldn't necessarily say that Twitter is more powerful than Facebook. It's more like comparing apples to oranges -- they each have their strengths and weaknesses. Twitter has a lot more noise, and you have to work a lot harder filtering through that noise. Facebook works better when you have …

A "bad neighborhood" are sites like link farms and low quality directories that are very spammy. A link from one of those sites to your webpage can have a negative effect on your SEO instead of positive one. A lot of blackhat SEOs who are just trying to make a …

Have you tried using Ctrl+F5 to do a hard page refresh?

This isn't even just a vBulletin issue. It's a combination issue between vBulletin and the syntax parser we use for code and icode tags. Stay tuned, because all of these issues will be resolved in the new version of DaniWeb (we're currently working on migrating off of vBulletin sometime during …

It means the web servers are out of sync. I'll reach out to blud.

Congrats! As iamthwee pointed out, even people with experience are having a hard time keeping their jobs now, so it's great you were able to get a job right out of school.

[quote=iamthwee]By integration functions do you mean stuff like this: [CENTER][URL="http://imageshack.us"][IMG]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1562/int4kv.png[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER] where the the upper and lower bounds are defined? [/quote] iamthwee, DaniWeb actually has built-in Tex functionality by using the tex bbcode. There is no need to hotlink tex from an image upload service [tex]iamthwee=x^2[/tex]

Sure. Is it like via another object of the same class?

jQuery *is* JavaScript ;) You can alway add tags to your threads to classify them under multiple topics.

Hi, I just started using the Memcached php client instead of Memcache client. It's able to connect, but now when I run a get(), I get the following error: Memcached::get(): bad type specifier while parsing parameters It worked fine with Memcache? There's just one parameter ... the key to be …

Feel free to directly quote a sentence or two as long as you link back to the page that was quoted. However, please don't duplicate our content in its entirety.

Hi there, Welcome to DaniWeb!!!! :)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to invite everyone to my birthday party this upcoming November. This is actually going to be the second large event that DaniWeb is throwing, the first being last June during Internet Week NYC. There's a Facebook event set up for it here: [url]http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=279987105364597[/url] To be …

Logging out shouldn't affect your sponsorship privileges, though. Are you sure that the payment went through, because vBulletin doesn't show you as a paying sponsor.

Hi AD, Happy thanksgiving everyone! And my family goes to a restaurant every year ;)

You have two options. Option 1: You can redirect these pages to the homepage using a 301 redirect to eliminate the duplicate content problem. However, this can potentially be confusing for the user, since they go to one particular URL where they expect to find forum thread content and instead …

I'm not sure why this is happening. We are banning a small amount of IPs, none of which are associated with your accounts.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

I don't know anything about Apache for windows, but are you sure the path isn't D:\www\.htpasswd ? And does the file exist?
